Dear WLS

Pretty Horse - What is everyone's favorite nut?





Sandy Ravage - What are some good training drill for an intermediate shooter, something more than 1r1, Mozambique, or transitions and the like but less than full blown shoot house





Bigar Kauklanu - Im looking at the brownells branded 12.7" retro a1 barrel in 1 / 7 twist (brownells part # 078000462) for a retro modern monstrosity build with a carry handle receiver. Not too knowledgeable on the pencil profiles so should I run a flaming pig or my yhm phantom m2 on it? Ps, congratulations Jerombé on your son and I hope he doesn't have downs like you. #NoNotesBorthers





Mega Lodong - Fusion XP pro. Platypus slayer? Or gimmick? I thought the lead engineer from Dan Wesson went to make gats and is sourcing stuff from turkey, so we get this company called fusion. Is it similar to turduckin? Like turfusion? Tusion? Or is it the fukey? Furkey? You tell me.





Rusty S - Dear cunts, and Aaron. Just came back from a two day rifle course running a bull pup. I was struggling to easy get a decent sight picture with my lvpo. I had to smoosh my fat ted Kennedy head into the stock, and was even worse while shooting prone. the instructor said my scope mount was too low. How do I measure what hight mount? Are there standard heights for mounts?And reconditions for the cast would be appreciated Thanks for the help





Sexual Snakebite - Hello WLS Cast and Cult. Quick question for you fuckers- I'm thinking about going full retard and puting a Herrington Arms Comp on my PSA Daggerino, but I'm being too much of a bitch to want to buy a new holster for my glawk fawdy. Should I just order another from our beloved BRC and just have another option, or could I just heat that bitch up and push the pistol through the kydex and reform around it? I'm pretty certain that the retention is made mostly with the WML I have attached, which luckily is not an olight since I like my holsters and legs to not be on fire. What do yall think, about things and stuff, and my question? Thank you much for your input. Extra Notes, see below, no, more, below that. Yeah, around there.


Lou Skunt - Flash cans & blast forwarding devices are gay. Can I pin & weld a ka-bar to my barrel to achieve 16”?

 

Fred Dog - Most famous person you have met?

Dear WLS

Mike Rochishairy - I have zero medical gear knowledge but want to put together a range day med kit. My range is 30 minutes to the nearest emergency room and would like a minimalistic kit in case of a ricochet or some boomer fudd does boomer fudd shit. No notes.

 

 

Jimmy A - What are you guys' thoughts and opinions on .257 Roberts? I have started a collection of lesser known and oddball cartridges and thought about adding a rifle in their caliber to it. Also, it seems like it would be a decent coyote, varmint, deer round for my farm in Southern Indiana. It seems somewhat similar to .243 Winchester but not near as readily available. What rifle do you suggest for this round? Thanks guys

 

 

Ben B - I will be finishing an ar15 build in the near future. It will be a suppressed 14.5 5.56 and I want to put an adjustable gas block on it so it can be tuned. My question is what is the best AGB when you balance quality and budget?

 

Stu Pidass - If you lost your non dominant hand and had to permanently replace it with a hand gun, which would you pick?

 

 

Dutch Walker - Gentlemen, I’m going to build a .338 ARC and plan on shooting it suppressed. I have a Rugged Obsidian9, and it’s the only can I have that has a large enough aperture to handle the .338. How confident would you be shooting subsonic rounds through it without damaging it? For reference, Rugged says it will handle a 300 BlkOut subsonic rounds. See you at GunCon. Aaron, you owe me $40.

 

CD M - Ahoy boys, as we approach the sweaty time of the year I am returning to my summertime carry. The Keltec p32. My question relates to hollow points out of small barrels, are there any brands that would reliably expand? I have always just run FMJ out of mouse guns (if you can’t expand, penetrate as deeply as possible), but would love to hear other opinions

 

Harvey - Me being cheap Arken optics caught my eye. Seen two people not speak to highly but most reviews are good. One guy claimed they where buying you tube reviews. So anyone use one and have any expericance with it? Thinking of attempting a long range class with HEARTLAND PRECISION RIFLE since their range is close to me. But don't really have a big budget or great gun for it. But have a 6mm creedmoor savage model 10 long range cabelas exclusive I picked up like 5 years ago for 300 on clearance. Hopefully its not to long. No Knots

Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Standard Arms LLC - As an FFL, I just want to say I appreciate the show and the high standards you maintain for both content and advertising. Because of the show, I became a dealer for Gideon Optics and Xtech Tactical, and I’ve built a great relationship with Mitchell Defense. The products have been exceptional, and I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

Jason @ Standard Arms LLC. Yes in NJ

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Warrior Of The Weekend - Integrity. Professionalism. Dignity. Honor. Respect.

Even though this podcast severely lacks all of these traits, I still give it 5 stars for effort.
What it does have is- Autism. Patriotism. Pathetisism. Diabetism. Not athleticism.
These inglorious bastards get me through my workday. Great unbiased gun info.
And Jeremy, I’ll C U Next Tuesday. Ha! Please don’t rage kill me you’re not a cunt.

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Scout 389 - Gentlemen,

I've been a longtime listener of the show and have made multiple purchases of firearms, and products based of the recommendations provided by the cast.

Dear WLS

Dependable Don - Who wins? Jermey vs a bag of dicks but in a van.


Joe from NH - I’ve ordered two L3 Harris tubes. There are so many options out there for housings, mounts, and helmets. What are some things to considered when choosing the above? For instance, what features are necessary within a housing since that is the part I’m least sure about? I probably have everything by now, but thanks for the input. Joe From NH No notes.


OutLore no last name... it's just OutLore - You asked for questions. I have 2. For best effect these should be read in a British accent. I will be scoring your accent in the chat. 1) If an orange is called an orange because it's orange, why isn't a lemon called a yellow? 2) As you may remember... I recently became a US citizen, and no I will not continually tell people about it because it's probably the most awesome thing that's ever happened to me in my entire life... anyway... What gun would you get to celebrate such a momentus event? Fancy Mitchell Defense AR? Lever Action? Revolver? Something that really screams 'Murica. Thanks fuckers. OutLore"


No Notes McNoNotes - How often should you maintenance a direct thread suppressor? I have a 5 ½ inch suppressor living on a 10 ½ AR15, it’s not pinned and welded.


Oliver Clotheshauf - Well Shawnathon, I've been listening to your words of wisdom cult daddy (oi yay). In my last few Brownells orders I've added a TQ each time (2 for me and 1 for a family member who recently bought their first handgun) and when I bought a new plate carrier I bought a M-Fak (NAR Roo) at the same time. Now for the question as I'm not here to flex my spending habits, what medical items should I add or double up on to put inside the M-Fak?#nonotes





Benjamin B - Wanting to get a gun for my girlfriend, but I'm not sure what to pick and she's not sure what she wants. Just that she wants one. It would be primarily a range toy/practice gun. What would the cast recommend? no notes...


Hank Yall - Trying to decide on what brand of factory bolt action to watch for next. Brands I don't have but have interest in. In no set order. Bergara, Tikka, Sauer, Mauser, Franchi, CVA, Winchester, Sako, Sig Sauer, Four Peaks, Beretta or Browning. Generally a sub 1000 dollar guy but always like cheaper. Would mostly be just a deer rifle or range toy. Don't really need another I just like to watch for bargains. Have all the deer rifles I need but not how many I want. Trying to be short enough. NO KNOTS

Dear WLS

My dad hit my mom so I the family dog and now I have a hard time talking to women S. - Do you guys have a go to cleaning kit? Or do you just buy pieces and make your own kit? What are those pieces? I’ve bought several kits but they never seem to be ideal for cleaning any particular gun.





Ice Wallocum - Could 50 clones of Savage defeat Nick, Jeremy, Shawn, and Aaron? The only weapons available to the guys are a frying pan, a set of brass knuckles, a fire extinguisher and a large flat-head screwdriver. Each clone is butt-ass naked. Try to not get a boner. No notes.

 

Jakey Poo - I'm getting the itch... not like yours, Aaron. I need to add something to my gun collection. My current selection is as follows. A 223 AR A 223 AK A semi auto 12 gauge (yes Turkish, shut up) A 9mm AK A 45 1911 A full size 9mm canik. A 9mm p365 xmacro. An m&p 22 handgun. A 22 heritage rough rider. So, where should I start looking and or saving next? I like the idea of a 45 pcc. I like the idea of a lever action. I like the idea of some other 22 to have for when my boys get old enough. I just don't know what to do. And don't say tons of ammo for all those things... that's already on the list. Thank you for all the feelings you give me every week, my fellow homeo sectionals.


Alex W - Hi. Do you guys have slings on your home defense rifles? I had mine out last night due to sketchy shit going on outside my home and noticed the sling was all twisted up and wrapped around the stock. I think it would have still functioned fine but throwing the sling on might have been hard in a tense situation. How do you stow your slings to prevent that issue? Thanks. No notes.


Savage Looks Like A Nutsack - I was at my local Scheels, and overheard a conversation about second focal plane scopes. The sales associate told the guy next to me that in a sfp scope, only the subtensions will be off if you use magnification. He explained that your center aimpoint on the scope will always be dead on no matter what, as long as the distance is ranged correctly. What's the associate right? I thought in all sfp scopes, your zero would be off on everything if you used the magnification. It doesn't make sense that the center point of the scope would always be correct under any magnification, but only the subtensions would be off. No notes


Reese K - On the most recent This Week in Guns they talked about a blind man who bought a gun and then was complaining about how easy it was. If you guys became legally blind, from whatever terrible accident you want, what would you choose for home defense?

 

Cory R - Why is Aaron such a douche. Dude is fucking up the show arguing about the dumbest shit. Arguing that ffls shouldn't be able to charge for transfers? Fucking dumbass. Then today argue with savage for not reading the facts right after he did. Jesus, please take his mic before I have to quit listening.


DoppleBanger - Looking to buy a battle rifle clone from the 50s-60s era in .308. Price doesn't matter. What are your suggestions? M14 Clone? G3 clone? Fal?

Death Row Drama: Inmate's Bold Choice for the Bullet Buffet


A second inmate in South Carolina has opted for execution by firing squad, highlighting the state's controversial choice in execution methods amid ongoing debates about the death penalty. This decision may reignite discussions within the gun community regarding the implications of firearms in legal and penal contexts, while gun control advocates might find it uncomfortable as it underscores the use of guns in more traditional and legal settings.

Understanding the Distinction Between Gun Culture and Gun Community


The article discusses the distinction between the terms "gun community" and "gun culture," highlighting their differing implications and attitudes towards firearm ownership and the Second Amendment. It emphasizes that while the gun community is broad and inclusive of various enthusiasts, the gun culture represents a more rigid adherence to the principle of absolute Second Amendment rights. This differentiation impacts how members of the gun community perceive their roles and responsibilities regarding gun ownership and usage.

Dear WLS

Dependable Don - Jeremy vs people that think 22 is a viable carry option, in a bus. Who wins?





Jimmy - I have a 16” AR10 in 308 that runs like a champ. I bought a nickel boron BCG to have as a back up, but it has a persistent issue. When chambering a round it often fails to go into battery. If I ram it home with the forward assist it will then fire the round but fail to extract the case. The case heads show damage at the rim including crushing and tearing of the rim. My assumption is that the extractor is out of spec. It moves freely and the spring tension seems comparable to the original Aero. I’ve read somewhere about tuning extractors by changing the hook angle but I’ve never tried anything like that. I know I can just replace the extractor, but I’m taking this as a learning experience. I have a caliper and files, but I need some intel. Where would I find the schematics showing the correct shape & size of the extractor? Would you guys try this procedure or shitcan this garbage? By the time you read this I will probably have solved the problem, but hopefully it sparks a conversation. Thanks.





Andrew C - What's up my dudes, Why the fuck does Aaron always sound like he has cotton balls in his mouth on the pod? Shitty mic or does he just sound like that? Either way it does'nt make me hate him any less. Anywho, I am starting a P365 build and want to get your guys opinion on a couple things. I already bought the base model 365 (basically just for slide and fcu) as well as a radian ramjet/afterburner for it. My goal is to put that on an xmacro frame so everything sits flush at the end of the pistol while having more to grip on the module. Do you guys have any recommendations on grip modules, triggers, trigger spring kits, etc? Looking at the wilson combat grip module or just getting the Sig xmacro frame and throwing on the radian backstrap/magwell. Also looking at the Tyrant cnc intellifire and pairng it with the tactical triggers trigger kit to take care of slop and crisp it up a fair amount. Any input/experience with those items or have other recs?Yes, I already know that putting all this on an xmacro frame makes it a larger gun to carry, but I dont give two shits about that. TIA for any input. Stay free or get fucked.

 

Ethan P - For those of us planning our GunCon trip already. Jeremy, where should we go to eat while we're in your town?

 

Jay W - Wasssaaaaaappp (man I miss the 90s and those Budweiser commercials) I just picked up my 2nd suppressor (Anechoic 30) and decided to go with the Deadair Keymo, found a brake and adapter at Brownells (use code WLS10). This is my first QD setup and thought a QD would be smart with a 30 cal can to swap it on a few of my builds for youtube reviews and flexibility with my arsenal (until I get more cans). So what's the deal with the mixed feelings on keymo? Depending on who you talk to you get a different opinion and some opinions (while everyone is entitled to one) are just plain dumb. You guys have a range of backgrounds and I'm just wondering if I did ok with choosing keymo or if I should convert to something else (since I'm not fully committed yet). Note- No notes. P.S. Who is the jackass that invented P.S. for letters? Like bro, just find space in the paragraph above to get your point across and end the letter with ""Sincerely"" and wrap it up B.

Alex P - Hey WLS crew, I am just getting into carry conceal I want to know your opinion on weapon mounted lights. I plan to get a black rhino concealment appendix holster, and I am contemplating whether or not I should include my weapons mounted light on it or not. In your opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages of including a weapon mounted light on a daily carry gun? I have a Springfield XD Mod 2 in 9 mm and I currently have a streamlight mounted to it. Use case would be daily carrying mostly during the day to and from work with occasional use during evenings and weekends on outings and trips. Thanks for the support. Keep up the great work!

Mel Gibson's Unexpected Advocacy for Felon Gun Rights


Mel Gibson's effort to restore his gun rights after a 2011 misdemeanor domestic violence conviction has sparked significant debate within the gun community and political arenas, particularly under the Trump administration. Critics see this as potential political favoritism, while advocates argue it highlights broader issues regarding the restoration of rights for non-violent offenders. The case raises questions about the fairness and constitutionality of current firearm restrictions for individuals with past convictions and could set a precedent for similar cases in the future.

Dear WLS

Ben Dover - Sent in a question a while ago about muzzle devices for suppressors. It will be a pin and weld 14.5". I was originally going to go with an OCL Polonium but I'm interested in the Griffin dual-lok suppressor package. Is it hearing safe/comfortable?





Zack K - What firearms do your wives and Nick’s partner either carry or enjoy shooting? Also, in reference to double tap 362, Jeremy how much would one of your hogs cost to test the pig suppressor?





Dependable Don - Who would win, Jermey vs a pack of coyotes but locked in a bus?

(No notes)



Eli K - I have an MPX and a PTR 9CT. Since the PTR already has a tri lug, should I get the ILWT (In Lead We Trust) MPX Tri Lug Adapter? I plan to get a Wardog K9 with the Vers 3-Lug adapter. Also, will I be happy with the Wardog on these guns? I know I'm sacrificing some performance vs the VERS 9, but the Wardog looks awesome. This will be my first suppressor.





Mike - Dear WLS! I can’t keep this to myself any longer! I’ve been watching you for so long Aaron. I just need to say I want to pummel your SSB like there’s no tomorrow! Shawn has to sit in the cuck chair to see what will be cumming for him in the end days when the cult comes for their pound of his SSB. Oooookay now the real question. I work construction and I want your opinions on how to carry everyday when going to work. I can’t keep the pistol on me all day because I’m doing to much movement that would expose the firearm so should I get a safe for my car and just leave it in my car during the day or what are your suggestions. Also most sites are not a fenced in site. PS. Get Savages bitch ass back on the damn show. If we have to go to his house as the cult to take him back then we shall! Thanks gays! You’re the best and sorry for the long one. Keep pounding our ear pussies!





Alex W - Hi. I have an old Ruger Blackhawk that I bought used with an aftermarket set of white plastic imitation ivory grips on it. I like how they look but they hang down below the bottom of the grip frame by like 1/32 of an inch. Is there a good way to sand down plastic grips like that to match the grip frame without them ending up looking like shit? I wouldn't care but that little overhang tends to bite into my hand with hard kicking rounds.





Nick B - Hey guys I just picked up a raging hunter 500 magnum with the 8” barrel. Looking for suggestions on which Gideon red dot you’d recommend. Don’t have anything from them yet, but since they meet the criteria for you to work with them I really want to give them a try. The use case is just a range toy really and I like red dots. Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work!

ATF: Big Brother with Bad Aim


The Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently obtained a 35-page document through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in January 2020. The document, received in November 2024, reveals that the ATF has been monitoring online gun forums, social media websites, and law-abiding gun owners for over a decade, with an intelligence assessment on internet firearm sales dating back to November 2015.,The GOA claims that the ATF is abusing its power by targeting and harassing law-abiding citizens instead of focusing on actual criminals. The document shows that the ATF monitors lawful transactions and continues to surveil gun owners even after potential threats are deemed not credible. The ATF also misstates the law, claiming that greater anonymity in firearm purchases indicates a higher likelihood of violating federal law, despite Congress protecting gun owner privacy since 1986.,The ATF considers popular websites like Craigslist, AR15.com, Reddit, and Facebook as "unregulated marketplaces" and part of the "Deep Web," actively monitoring posts on these platforms. The agency complains about the growing secondary market of used firearms and the difficulty in tracing them, and it expresses a preference for websites with no anonymity for gun sales.,The document lists Nicholas Spranza Jr.,

Joe Rogan the Third - Yo guys,While cruising the country side i was curious about what song yall would play on your way to go fuck shit up. This isn't specifically for end of times stuff but maybe more like roughing up the guy that touched your daughter or family member wrong. Mine would be Death Deathwalk by Pop Evil.ve the show #NoNotes

 

Ooooooo Kay...Hey Guys! JayWeth (Josh) from Squad Drills and "The MacBros Show" on FRN. My co-host (Darius) and I were sent a question recently and we wanted to get your perspective. What makes a gun superior over another? Also, what do you think should be the standard for handgun manufacturers ala Jon Patton's Standards(capacity, optic cut, light rail, magazines, etc.)? If a handgun doesn't meet this standard, will you refuse to purchase it in the future?

Love the show and thanks for all the support on FRN. Note - No notes.

 

Desert Deagleton - I’m looking for a new suppressor host. Can you guys recommend an interesting or unique 22 rifle with a 16” barrel? I’d prefer something manually operated or a single shot as I already have 2 10/22s and a Charger.

 

Ron H - For your carry pistol, if you could only have one of two accessories, which would the cast choose. Optic or Light. To clarify, when stating Optic it is regarding a Red Dot or other colored (yes, colored) electronic optic. You may still have your selection of Iron sights. For Light, I am specifically referring to a weapon mounted light and not a handheld. Many instructors and even the cast discuss the importance of a WML for PID. And to make it more fun, you can each pick your recommendation to support your decision. I know we all want a Crimson Trace duo on our guns, but we can't have it all sometimes now that I have to put menthol cigarettes back in my budget. #WLSisLife #jeremyisacunt #shootatsounds


Hugmuffin Actual - My wife bought me one of your epic bright pink Camorado Highgarden shirts for Christmas, and it manages to make me look even more handsome than usual.Now that you are a high-end fashion producer mentioned in the same breath as "Vercase", "Lagerfeld" and "Dior", what were some of the trials and tribulations you encountered while bringing your Camorado clothing line into the world? PS - Please give Aaron a big hug; he cops a lot of flack but we would all be lost without him.Cheers, Hugmuffin


Gay and Retarded - Now that we can say gay and retarded again I was wondering how do we define gay and how do we define retarded? Can something be just gay or just retarded or is it a package deal? Do they even have precise definitions or is it more of a "I know it when I see it" kind of thing?

 

Roger H - Trump and Congress need to pass a federal castle doctrine then any American citizen(Jeremy) can have a stateside. Many states have one for its citizens why can’t this be federal then we can protect our home. America is mine and your home.


happy humperdinkel - 9.3x62 is it enough for deer? I want one for some reason and trying to justify it. no knots.

Mr Brotein - follow up on zenith zf5 malfunction. its always a failure to feed. and looks like the round is nose diving under the chamber. ive had the worst luck with fiochi 158 gr. but ive also had issues with lighter subsonic loads. all is suppressed by the way and ive tried multiple zenith mags. this malfunction usually happens in the last 4 rounds of the mag. Not sure if its ammo or mag related or maybe even both.


Holden Tudix - Since we can officially say the R word again, what is the casts opinion on RE-Loads. And No, not hand loads by retards, I mean carrying extra ammo. Does the cast carry extra loads? In their Fannies? In their (prison)Purses? If you like to keep an extra load in hand, where and how do you carry? Or do you think the 3/3/3 rule is true and don't need the extra hand-full of loads? NOTES- always pick up a penny on the ground no matter if its heads up or down....that's how you get Jues


A J - Hello, I'm at the point that I would like to build out a plate carrier vest for myself and my family but I do not know anything about the different brands that make them. What is the real difference between the $60 NCSTAR vest and the $400 uberleet tactical? I've heard the cast talk about there plate carriers but haven't heard much details on what you look for in your vest. What should I look for to find a quality vest? I don't mind spending money on a good quality item but don't want to fall into the trap of spending hundreds of dollars on items that turn out to be junk. At the end of the day Im looking for a vest to hold front and back plates plus a few AR and pistol mags. Thanks for any help

 

Chuck M - I don’t know much on guns but i see these ads for something called a shotgun pistol? What are we talking about? Are they really a thing and if so are they a good thing for a beginner?

 

Mike J - What would Nick’s life be like if he was never on We Like Shooting? He still likes guns and he still has the vast knowledge about them up until the point and maybe further if you guys think he would’ve continued his hobby of firearms. Would he be the same? Would he be an innocent Adventist what would have happened?


John W - recently purchased a Rossi 92 black in .44mag. going to set this up for pigs and white tail under 200yrds. Not going full space cowboy but modernized. definitely need a new suppressor and ammo storage. I'm thinking chocolate brown leather carry strap with shell holders. A short MLOK rail up front is a go, but those Liteweight buttstocks, are fucking hideous. at the moment, its sporting black factory furniture and an OD green cerakote job.just sharing my new build and looking for ideas. This lever action bug is a real thing, i love this fucking thing.End Of Line..PS, any new book recommendations?

 

Ryan Couldn't be a cop so now I am security - My neighbor just bought new 10.5" Diamondback AR pistol in 5.56. I know it's not top shelf, but at least it's not a Bear Creek and it was the right price at the right time for him. We took it to the range to zero his red dot and it would not cycle. No ejection, VERY light recoil, and the BCG was only moving rearward about an inch. We took a few more shots and discovered that if we really pulled the brace hard into our shoulder, it would sometimes eject but still wouldn't strip a new round from the magazine. As we were standing around fiddling with it, he starts unscrewing the castle nut with his fingers. I said,

Risk vs. Reality in Self-Defense



An interesting factoid is that there's 99.997971% chance you won't need a gun to defend yourself today, but play that game every day over the 21,535 days of the average adult life and there's a 35.405% chance you will need it at least once. To me that's the flaw in people's perception of risk, people inherently look at things through the lens of the day-to-day and will fail to recognize the totality of risk over large stretches of. To me that's why people who are not inherently interested in firearms tend to be apprehensive, we're essentially asking them to make a ~$3,000 bet (in my estimation anyway) to purchase equipment and develop a skill plus a lifetime of maintenance in that skill that has a less than a 1:50,000 chance of being relevant to that person in any given day when the alternative is to literally do nothing.

Dear WLS

DrStupidGuy - I wanted to use a hera stock to build a space gun. and i wanted to use an AR57 upper to make use of those 50rd magazines. and i wanted a crossbolt safety so i didn't mix up manual of arms with a regular AR. and then sbr it. And then i realized this is just a shoddy ps90 ripoff. I already have a ps90 sbr. Is this yet another of my $1k mistakes? BTW the sale is now so by the time you read this in 4 months i'll already be a time traveler with my space guns. Should i have did buy bought it 10 weeks ago from now when you will have read this already then?


Nick D - Looking for a higher mid level 2011, I’m looking at the Apache, the Kimber 2k11 and, the masterpiece arms DS9. Thoughts? I’m leaning hard to the Apache. Anything else I should consider?


Jacob A - So I recently moved from a tooling design engineer to a manufacturing engineer at work. One of the toolmakers wants me to design a suppressor so in mind craft he can kill some Guatemala's who's dog bit his kid. I convinced him to just Luigi them in mindcraft. We also settled on machining a cannon not in mind craft that has like a 8" barrel and then scaling up. Wondering if any of the cast has info or where I can get pressure data on muzzle loader powder and projectile so I can do the calc to size the wall. Initial starting small but may end up with like a 1" projectile.


Brian R - I have a 16 inch armalite M15 tactical that I found through deal bro when i was drunk. Its my first AR and I want to put an optic, and foregrip on it. Im not a poor but don't want to spend too much money on it. what do you guys recommend for a short to mid range rifle with an average (at best) shooter? PS Jerremy is a cunt.


Mr Brotein - Sup fellas? I have a zenith zf5. The gun is awesome but it seems to malfunction on the last 2 or 3 rounds in multiple zenith mags. What MP5 mags do you use? Could it be something other then low spring tension? Also I've been listening the monster hunter international series because of y'all. Freaking great.


Logan with 10 screws, 2 rods, 2 hooks and 2 anchors in his back - What’s up fellas! This is probably a dumb question but here she goes. Looking to order a can from bowers group but not too sure the whole process that goes with it. I know you have to do finger prints and all that shit but don’t know what else goes into it. Ps- from the shitty state of Colorado Pps- Jeremy is cool, rest of y’all’s are kunts Ppps- no notes


Brassguy Jarhead - Shawn keeps talking about how Christensen Arms is bad but never explains why/how. Can he explain? I'm looking at getting a Ridgeline FFT in 7prc.


Zac C - I just saw a new word that describes a certain cast member to a (low) T. The word is Dicktim (noun) someone who acts like a dick, then acts like a victim about it……hmmm who could it be.


Joe Spanky - On WLS 594 timestamp 2 04 46 Shawn said that Angel Is allowed to put her hand in his pocket and see what she finds, then says balls. My question is where is Shawn finding pants with pockets on the in-seam at ankle height? Thanks, Joe No Notes
